South Africa Special - South Africa Daily Rate Hunt

Tour Code: OSA7

Length: Custom

This hunt is designed for those hunters looking for specific trophies.
Our daily rate includes everything our packages include except trophy
fees on animals. These you pay as you bring them down. This is often the
best option for bow hunters. As we hunt strictly fair chase on wild
populations no one can predict what will come in range during the coarse
of a hunt. The daily rate is also ideal for hunters who are returning to
Africa and looking to collect certain species or to upgrade the trophies
that they already have.

NOTE ON ALL PACKAGES: There is no
refund for any animals not taken while hunting on a package. All
animals wounded but not recovered count against animals in package.
We will make every effort to recover your trophy. We have some of
the best trackers in Africa as well as some of the best tracking
dogs you will ever see. Very few get away! Also please note that
there is no charge for the day you arrive and the day you depart.
For example for example a 7 day hunt is actually 9 days as we pick
you up at the airport and return you with everything taken care of
in-between. You only pay for the time you are in the field hunting.
At all times we treat you like a member of our family.

We have always believed that Africa should be experienced as a couple or a family. We have designed our lodges and maintain the private reserves that they are located on with your non hunters in mind. At each of our lodges you will find the highest standards of accommodation and cuisine as well as a good mix of wildlife for the overall African experience. On our properties we have just about every species of African animal right out your front door. This includes rhino, herds of buffalo, leopard and many species of planes game. Game viewing is often best right from the swimming pool! We also have blinds and observation areas set aside for those who whish to do photography and bird watching. The restoration efforts on our properties have led to an abundance of flora and fauna. There is always something going on in the bush! With us non hunters are also always welcome out on the hunt. Remember this is your private hunt with private guide and vehicle. Many of the ladies will accompany us in the bush and become part of the team helping spot animals and recording the hunt on video or in pictures. (Through the years we even have had a number of non hunters take their first animal with us!) We also realize that this may not be for everyone. One great advantage we have is that our lodges are not located hours out in the bush completely away from civilization. While our hunting areas are far away from the towns we are not that far away that we can pop in for a visit! Most of the activities listed below are within an hours drive or less from one of our lodges and they make excellent day trips for the non hunters. We can also organize pre and post hunt itineraries for the entire group such as Cape Town or Victoria Falls and Chobe. Contact us for details.

OPTIONAL ACTIVITIES

Below we have some of the many additional non hunting activities that we offer from our lodges. At many hunting lodges the ladies find themselves isolated out in the country with nothing much to do during the hunting days. This is not the case with us! Our hunting area is unique in that we are not located out in the countryside hours away from towns and civilization. We can offer many activities from classic photo safari to golf and even skydiving! All of this and more can be found a short drive from our lodges. We have always believed that Africa is to be experienced as a family. This is one hunt were the non-hunters have more fun then the hunters! While you are off stalking game your non-hunters will be on the holiday of a lifetime. Below is a short list of possible options. If you have other interests then please let us know and we will design a program just for you!

Just wanted to let you know that Don's kudu made Safari Club International gold at 117 4/8, and a certificate has come back recently with a current rank as #101 since SCI has been keeping records (31 years). Tim's mountain reedbuck also made Safari Club International gold at 14 2/8. Those two are official, and will be appearing in the record book.

We are currently getting Don's springbok, bushbuck, blesbuck, and impala measured, and rough scoring looks like all but the impala will make it into the record book at at least the bronze level, maybe silver. I think the impala will just miss by less than 1". We'll see, but if and when they're official I'll send documents.

I'm currently scheduling with a Rowland Ward measurer. I'm pretty sure from rough measuring and researching that Don's kudu and Tim's mountain reedbuck will make that book also. If so, we certainly will submit for recordation. I'll send that news along later as well.

Just thought you'd like to know about the trophy designations.

Hello to Roxanne and Rory. I'm sure they're so big we wouldn't even recognize them. Greetings to all, and thanks again for the wonderful hunt.

Hunting Africa is the lifelong dream of many sportsmen. We have
designed our packages to bring Africa within reach of everyone. This
hunt takes place in the Eastern Cape area of South Africa. This is a
region of varied terrain from fertile valleys to steep mountains. It is
home to large numbers of game. The Karoo is cattle and sheep country
much like the American South West. Many of the farmers allow us to
manage game on their property for extra income. Eighty percent of our
hunting takes place on the open range with standard cattle and sheep
fencing. The other twenty percent is on high fence ranches. Certain
species can only be hunted year round in a high fence area, thus we need
to use these properties as well.

All of our hunting is strictly fair
chase. Our primary method is spot and stalk. We have blinds and tree
stands as well and hunt with rifle, bow, pistol and black powder. We
have farms designated bow only. We do not hunt from vehicles or in pens!
Also we are not tied to one property. Our home farm of 5000 acres serves
as a base from which we access over 250,000 acres of prime hunting land
leased exclusively by us.

Trophy quality is guaranteed because of our
trophy game management policies. Only mature animals are taken and a
limited quota is set for each property. This allows a large number of
animals on the land and also gives them time to mature into the quality
trophies you seek. Our animals are all natural production and not bought
at action and stocked. Our exclusive leases with landowners assures that
we are the only ones taking the prime specimens off their properties.
Seasons are reversed in South Africa from North America. May-August is
winter and temperatures can get quite cold. Perfect hunting weather! Nov
through March has warm to hot days followed by warm evenings. We usually
hunt early and late this time of year with plenty of time to relax
during the day.

On our hunts you will be accompanied by a certified professional
hunter. This will be either one client and one PH or two clients and one
PH depending on how you want it. We NEVER mix groups! Even if there is
only one of you, you will have exclusive use of the lodges during your
hunt and not be mixed with hunters that you do not know. We have four
different lodges at our disposal and often move between them depending
on what species you are hunting. As stated above we are not tied to one
property like many other operations and can move to were the best
specimens of the species you are hunting are located.

Our lodges vary from an authentic bush lodge with thatched roof cabins
to a very comfortable former South African farm house with all the
modern convinces. Africa is literally out the front door. All meals will
be prepared by our staff and include many wild game dishes as well as
homemade salads and deserts. You will not go hungry! We include all soft
drinks, juices, water and tea and coffee as well as local beer and
wines. We pride ourselves on offering not only a great hunt but also a
complete experience including great food, good company and many
additional features that others charge extra for.

Non-hunters are more than welcome! We encourage our clients to bring
their families and offer a non hunting rate that reflects this. If your
non hunter does not want to follow you in the field many optional tours
can be arranged. We have many opportunities from camera safari to spas
and golf. We will be glad to put together an exciting program of day
trips from the lodge for the non hunter.

Transport to and from the airport as well as all ground transport for the duration of the Safari

Chris reports:

I had the best time ever hunting South Africa. Allen is a fantastic PH, I really enjoyed hunting with him. Allen put me on
some fine trophys. Every thing was just as you said it would be. I was treated execptionally well by every one. I love Africa
and can't wait to go back. We hunted hard every day and Allen made sure I took all the game I was after and then some. I can't
say enough about what fantastic PH and host Allen was. When I tell my hunting stories to customers, they want to know who I hunted
with. I am highly recomending you. You should sent me cards and hand outs that you take to shows. I will be glad to send my
customers to you. I just had the best time. I took around 2500 photos.

Thanks Ed, the hunt was outstanding. Here are some photos, I will be happy to send more if you like.

Thanks again.

Chris
